Friday and

It is snowing again, and it is foggy. I had planned an afternoon away from home but that may be postponed. The Oriental Stamp Arts One sheet wonder challenge was quite a lot of card crafting fun, so much so I decided to do it again! I always need a lot of Oriental cards, I send birthday cards and "RAKS" and "DAKS" as well as the swap and mingle cards so doing this helps add to that stash.

For this part two of the challenge I used a sheet of G45 Birdsong paper that looked less like card panels than the last one, which I think is more the point of a one sheet wonder set.

This sheet is double sided which gives me more options. I used the entire sheet except on piece of paper that measured 1x2 inches

Two sides both a stripe type look

Here is the finished batch , these are all the smaller half sheet size and all are on 100# black faux leather textured paper.

To qualify for the challenge as with all OSA cards, there must be at least one hand stamped Asian image on the card.

I enjoyed coloring the geisha's with alcohol markers and distress inks

This is a digital stamp I colored in with pencil and then used distress ink along with a little glaze in the flower.

The most important thing you will read on this Blog

The Most important thing you will read on this blog is this:Jesus is The Truth and The Life and The way. In the Gospel of St. John, Jesus tells the plan and purpose he has laid out for our lives. He tells us about what we all wonder and question, is there more to this life than what we have and are now? In a book smaller than my Cuisinart manual, are the words of life for us all. I opened and read that book 33 years ago and my life has so thankfully never been the same! Where there was question and strife I have peace and joy. If you need peace or love or joy in your life I invite you to open the Gospel of St. John and begin a journey that will take you with great joy along many paths and into eternity!
